Fetner’s Principles Through Three Generations of Building and Development

Innovation: Fetner doesn’t build obsolete buildings. The easiest way to develop in the short term is to build the same building as before, but that doesn’t make for a better building. Fetner always believes its next building will be the best, learning from each previous building and improving on each one.

Sustainability: The earth’s resources are finite. Today, it’s popular to be green, but starting in 2000, Fetner began thinking about developing buildings that use less power and water, and began investigating retrofitting some of its older portfolio to become greener. We construct buildings that reduce the strain on the sewage and electrical systems, and provide residents and visitors with a more productive and healthier indoor environment.

Community Partnership: No development can be successful without community partnership. Some developers see the community as a hindrance; Fetner sees the community as an asset and partner. Understanding what the community’s needs are, and incorporating that into the planning process makes for better buildings, makes for smoother projects and better neighbors.

Long-Term Perspective: Building Communities. Fetner is a third-generation building company that builds for generations. Fetner makes every effort to know its residents, recognizing that while Fetner owns the buildings, this is home for the people who live there. The organization prides itself on creating long-standing relationships with the residents, and continually strives to create better communities.
